<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif;font-size:11pt">Somewhere between installing BlenderGIS, OSGEO4W testing version, and ArcGISPro, the QGIS plugins that relied on GDAL quit working. I’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing OSGEO4W and the standalone QGIS 3.18..3-2 and a few other tips like specifying the Python path, but nothing worked. I suspect something happened when I was installing the BlenderGIS addon. It called for a separate installation of Python and GDAL wheel. I’ve copied the error message below. The problem isn’t just related to the QGIS CWSI plugin, this is just an example of what I see from several plugins. Can anyone help me fix this?</span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif;font-size:11pt"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif;font-size:11pt">Kind regards,</span></p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif;font-size:11pt"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Garamond,serif;font-size:11pt">Bill</span></p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-weight:600;color:rgb(255,0,0)"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0px;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-weight:600;color:rgb(255,0,0)">Couldn't load plugin 'cwsi' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method</span> <br></p>
